We show through an analysis of a massive data set from YouTube that the productivity exhibited in crowd-sourcing exhibits a strong positive dependence on attention, measured by the number of downloads. Conversely, a lack of attention leads to a decrease in the number of videos uploaded and the consequent drop in productivity, which in many cases asymptotes to no uploads whatsoever. Moreover, short-term contributors compare their performance to the average contributor's performance while long-term contributors compare it to their own media.
